First let me say this was so far from a perfect hunt. I got to the property and verified my zero 1 inch high. Both barrels were about an inch horizontal from each other. The last couple days I left my hunting red lights on since they have a dawn and dusk feature. The big boar has been showing up around 930 pm
I am. East of my bait spot ..and ground blind. We had a south east wind 14 mph
The hogs normally come in either north or south as a major trail crosses my bait set up. About 1017 I heard sticks cracking then a loud woof I looked up the big boar was about 9 yards. In front of me and he busted me as he came from the North East he growled. At that moment ..i through the 72 up I couldn't see my rear sight. There was no time to turn my light on squeezed the trigger all heck broke out . caught a eating Size pig. Running. From right to left. My 72 left barrel roared and the pig dropped in its tracks. Got out looked for blood on the big boar. I noticed a small sapling that was about 4 inches in diameter had a round ball through it. I couldn't see the sapling I was concentrating on the hogs body. The hog I recovered was perfect eating sized ..the 500 grain round ball made nice hole through him
Although I messed a shot by not hitting was my first time hunting with my .72. The big 72. Was a heavy rifle. To be carrying. Bound and determined to find. A 12 gauge with colander bores as they weigh a lot less than the kodiak
